There are many factors. Key among them:

  • Collective brainpower
  • Tighter security
  • Cost efficiency

Open-source platforms are freely available and customizable. Proprietary software, on the other hand, is owned by the individual or company that developed it. There are fees associated with purchasing proprietary software, along with monthly or annual licensing fees.

As an open-source CMS, Drupal sites benefit from the vast, collective brainpower of a community whose contributions are rigorously curated. This translates into access to ongoing innovation in the form of plugins, modules, security patches, as well as a robust global community of developers. 

Security is an essential advantage of open source.

Open-source software allows for thorough auditing of the code for purposes of detecting potential security threats. Site owners can modify the code as they see fit—whether to enhance security or customize a site to meet their specific needs.

Drupal is an example of open-source software, and the Drupal community is constantly monitoring for and alerting Drupal support partners to security threats, and users are thoroughly empowered on their own to shore up any vulnerabilities that they detect.

Far fewer eyes are on proprietary projects, and resources are not necessarily available to fix vulnerabilities as they are detected. This is among the reasons why open-source vulnerabilities tend to get detected a lot sooner, and fixes happen faster than with proprietary software. 

No. Promet offers a depth of expertise and perspective. We work closely with clients to evaluate distinct needs, and recommend the CMS solution that represents the best fit. While Promet has deep ties to Drupal, and over the past few years, we have broadened our talent base to include WordPress advocates and experts.

WordPress and Drupal each have a distinct place at their respective ends of the CMS spectrum, with hobbyist or small business sites on one end and complex, government and enterprise-level digital experiences at the other. The vast middle ground between these two ends can be highly nuanced with no easy answers, concerning the optimal CMS.

In many cases, either Drupal or WordPress would work equally well.

A modular CMS written in PHP, Drupal enables developers to leverage a flexible taxonomy system that’s adept at organizing architecturally complex sites, as well as setting highly customizable user permission levels, and ensuring web accessibility compliance with enhanced testing and tracking capabilities.

Drupal is on a consistently feature-rich trajectory with each new version release.

An important example is the availability of no-code/low-code solutions, such as drag-and-drop functionality, that is empowering marketers and content editors with greater possibilities and flexibility for managing their sites. 

WordPress covers a wide spectrum of needs, and its popularity is on an upward trajectory, currently accounting for nearly 64% of the worldwide CMS market.

Originally developed as a blogging platform, WordPress has maintained its appeal for non-tech types with the advantage of a relatively low barrier to entry. WordPress offers more than 60,000 of plug-ins to expand functionality, outranking Drupal for ready-to-go themes that serve to fast-track site builds without the need for custom development work.

Lots of reasons. Here are some of them:

  1. Drupal integrates with other solutions and services, and as an open-source CMS, there are no additional costs or licensing fees associated with multiple integrations.  
  2. Security is both transparent and robust—a key factor contributing to Drupal’s public sector popularity.  
  3. Drupal’s multi-site feature streamlines the creation of multi-sites by enabling developers to copy the main site's code base and create as many offshoot sites as needed that leverage the same functionality.  
  4. Drupal supports some of the most highly trafficked government websites in the world, and is built to handle both sudden surges and millions of visitors a month without crashing or breaking.
  5. Site owners can select the hosting vendor that best fits their needs, they can change hosting vendors whenever they feel the need to, or they can opt to host the website internally.
  6. Drupal supports more than 100 languages out of the box, along with extra features that facilitate translation capabilities.
  7. Drupal is fundamentally committed to compliance with web accessibility standards, which is an essential consideration for all government and public sector websites.
  8. Drupal sites benefit from the vast, collective brainpower of a community whose contributions are rigorously curated. This is a huge advantage to both developers and public sector clients.
